2014 could shape up to be quite a year...

With the exception of the live album I would probably get all (or nearly all) of the stuff on that first list.

X-Sinner sad it's their last album.
GX Project
Stairway
Maybe a new Harmony.

I would add:

Nine Lashes - From Water to Wine

Crowder - Neon Steeple

WhiteHeart - This is based on that they are touring again in 2014 and rumored to be working on at the very least, an ep

Pillar -Untitled

Now that's a funny name for an album.

Ha ha. I'm not sure what the album will be titled. Possibly, Lion Leads The Way

I'd get a lot of those discs listed in the original post.

It's gonna be hard to top 2013. This has been a year of metal for the ages. Here's my "most" anticipated albums in 2014:

- Easily my most anticipated album is WORLDVIEW!!! Those two songs they've released so far are amazing, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

- Letter 7!

- Michael Sweet's solo album - his solos are my favorites on NMHTP and he has said this new solo record is his coming out party on the guitar, so I can't wait to hear it.

- Whiteheart's new album, EP or LP.

- I'm hoping for a new Theocracy record by the end of 2014.

- I'm anxious to hear the rest of the new Guardian. I liked the first song they released. Jamie has said the album has a bunch of guitar solos, even if that song didn't. 

- I'm cautiously optimistic for the new Brave album, "Rise".

I'd have to say that Letter 7 disc and Michael Sweet's solo project would be my most anticipated.  I wouldn't be surprised if Petra did not manage to sneak in with a reunion record with Bob and John.  The Brave I am very anxious for.  Also, the Guardian, Whiteheart, and X-Sinner projects are high on the list.

Definitely excited for the Barnabas albums. However, I'll probably like the X-Sinner and GX releases, not to mention Armageddon and Saint.

There's hopefully gonna be another Elgibbor CD coming out in 2014.

The new Elgibbor is coming out on january 7th.

Ones I'm looking forward to...

Virginia Creeper (Hopefully!)
Scandinavian Metal Praise (Hopefully!)
Worldview (REALLY looking forward to this one!)
Rob Rock
Saint
X-Sinner
and a few more!

It's true that 2013 has been a good year for metal, bit like 2003 if I recall correctly and 2010.

I'm looking forward to the Taker release from Roxx.

Ohhh, I've forgotten to tell that I'm looking forward to a new Letter 7 album too.

I hope to get started on a new Mission Of One project.

Not Christian, but Wolves In The Throne Room announced an album that'll come out soon!  Their last one was spectacular.

I'm releasing my 2nd album, The Beta Session on 2/18/14.  I'm looking forward to that and to getting started on my next project.

That would be great to start a new Mission Of One project.
